Friday, December 11 Update

Hi all,

In Intermediate Algebra we are currently reviewing exponents. Students will take their exponents benchmark this Tuesday, December 15. Students were given a review for this in class on the block day.  A copy is also linked below. The exponents review is due at the beginning of class on Tuesday.

Exponents Review

The grade book is currently updated. There are a handful of students that have missing quizzes or tests. Please check schoolview to see how your student is doing. I will be after school next Tuesday (12/15) and Thursday (12/17) as usual.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thanks and have a great weekend!

Update Friday, December 4

Hello! Please see below for what we are doing in Intermediate Algebra (IA) and Investigations.

Intermediate Algebra
We spent the block day this week reviewing for our Systems of Equations and Linear Inequalities test. Students will be taking this on Monday in class. Our next unit is a quick review of exponents. We will spend about a week on it then we will begin learning about polynomials!

Students have a review packet to complete over the weekend. A pdf is linked below if your student lost theirs or forgot to bring it home. Please encourage your students to email me over the weekend if there are any problems they are struggling with.
Review for Systems Test

Investigations
We finished our unit on Solving Equations and are moving into Data and Statistics. We started our first activity- called "Piling on a Penny" this week. Students are looking at how many drops of water a penny can hold. We will then be analyzing the data together next week.

Hope to see some of you at Breakfast with Santa this Sunday at Edgewood. Have a great weekend!

IA Update Wednesday, December 2

Hello everyone!

Today in Intermediate Algebra we are continuing our practice with systems of inequalities. We are focusing on graphing and setting up inequalities to represent and solve word problems.

Students were given a yellow worksheet yesterday as homework that is due on the block day. An extra copy is attached below.
Linear Inequalities Homework

Our unit test is still scheduled for Monday, December 7. Students will get their review packet in class on the block day. I am encouraging students to stay after to work on any missing work, retakes, and to just be proactive in their learning. I will be after school again on Thursday.

Here is some IXL that may help students review for the upcoming test (not required but encouraged):
